drowned in a puddle today. thanks for nothing to my useless mutuals who did nothing to help

[gatesofminrathous]

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 6 days 11 hours

[odyver]

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Remaining time: 6 days 11 hours

[odyver]

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined

Remaining time: 6 days 11 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

nothing hits quite like tragic doomed estranged sibling characters

[status-quo-hater]

I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.

He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense

[status-quo-hater]

Y'know I'm so glad someone reminded me of this. Because this was also discussed.

My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.

Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.

He brought up people consensually hurting each other, didn't go for one of the obvious answers like boxing or body mods or something, no he went STRAIGHT TO BDSM and he DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE ACRONYM

[sreegs]

hey it's me black mold. thanks for running your window air conditioner all summer. whatever you do, do not regularly clean the removable filter. that's not necessary

you should also never ever unplug the air conditioner and stick a flashlight in the vent that blows air to see if we're in there. it's very bad, that place should not be checked

and whatever you do, if you've already made the mistake of unplugging it, don't remove it from the window for cleaning if possible. and whether it's possible to remove the unit or not, don't carefully disassemble the front panel, document where the screws go and plastic bits go, and open up the vent more to be able to get into it easily

as black mold, i'm an expert on this. you should heed my warnings: now, if you've somehow made the mistake of doing all of the above, you should not use warm water and dish soap to CLEAN the inside of the vent thoroughly. DON'T ever use a bottle brush to get into the hard to reach places. and certainly don't rinse and dry the cleaned area before carefully putting it back together

there's nothing wrong with us, black mold. we don't cause or exacerbate breathing conditions like asthma or other illnesses. it's cool, we're cool

furthermore, if you're capable of removing the window unit, DONT take a hose with the same soapy water and wash the portion of the window unit that sits outside the window and is therefore weatherproofed.

whatever you do, don't allow the air conditioner to dry before plugging it back in and turning it on again

and if you have a central air conditioner, you will definitely never ever consult a manual or sources online to perform a similar cleaning procedure on the cooling unit outside.

lastly, if you're physically unable to do the things we (the black mold) warned you not to do above, you should never ever ask someone to help you or hire a service to do it.

[garbage-empress]

Also even if you do not have the time, space or ability to do some of the the things in the OP, definitely do not clean the coils (the awful sharp flat stacks of metal) with foaming coil cleaner. That removes the beneficial black mold (us) holding the unit together. It will be completely unsatisfying to watch the foam clean out the Super Beneficial Black Mold, Mildew, Hair, Lint & Dust Combo™ (that is not only a health hazard but making the unit less efficient at cooling necessary for air conditioner function) and leave the metal shiny.

It is a lot of elbow grease and definitely not just spraying a can and waiting. Especially do not use the ones that are self rinsing via the natural condensation of water around the coils where all you have to do is let the foam settle a couple hours before turning the unit back on. These foaming cleaners are also terrible to use on the removable air intake vent covers. You definitely do not just have to spray the opposite side of all the trapped shit on the plastic mesh and let the foam push it off. Also that stuff on the cover is great for you and your air conditioner.

Trust us. We, the mold, know much more about air conditioners than the people who make aerosol cans you can pick up for like $8 at home depot. Definitely do not do this a couple times a season.

i Really love when two characters are really quite similar but in such a way that they just hate eachother onsight.. dog barking at a mirror type beef

[subaru-copilot]

it gets to a point that is just weirder if they didn't fuck

[subaru-copilot]

you did all this and it was not even because you wanted to bang him? weirdo

[03josten]

stop fucking using the word psychotic to describe bad behaviour and violence already god fucking damn it

[03josten]

oh my god i'm so tired psychotic does not mean violent it does not mean angry or erratic. it refers to a person suffering from psychosis, a loss of touch with reality that includes hallucinations and/or delusions. psychotic people are not inherently violent and y'all need to understand how much stigma you create when you again and again incorrectly use the word psychotic without even thinking about it

[03josten]

would appreciate if non-psychotic people could reblog this

It took 36 years for someone to make this joke and by god it was worth the wait

[m0ose-idiot]

I love this so much! Also it triggered a memory and I spent far longer than I want to admit trying to find this 2002(ish) pic from Aussie cartoonist Judy Horacek

[anosci]

i love this!

i did a bit of digging and found that some bloke named Simon Brooke used the OP's joke as his email signature at least as early as March 14th, 1995 according to this quoted text. it takes a while to find a preserved copy of something Simon said but here's an example from mid-96:

Happy 20th Anniversary of Neil Banging Out The Tunes!!!!!

More rarer images of Neil, my beloved:

20 years.

I find it so beautiful that this little rat's life has been remembered with love for 20 years and will be hopefully for decades to come. Truly a marvel of the internet.

<3 love you Neil!!!!

[lilliankillthisman]

Trustees ranked by whether I would have gone out like that:

Drowned Wednesday. Seven thousand years as a 126-mile long whale and then you get dissolved from the inside as soon as you lift the curse is pretty rough. Hard to see that coming.

Superior Saturday. If I needed to kill a 12-year old boy I would also spend ages powering up my ultra-super-special-thousand-sorcerer lightning blast just to give him time to steal my magic quill pen that I need for all my plans.

Mister Monday. If I needed to kill a twelve year old boy I would also have turned into a giant snake, fallen into a pit of text-eating demons, allowed someone to write something on me and then been ripped to shreds.

Grim Tuesday. I would also lose an art competition to a musically-inclined 12 year old, but I don't think I would have let myself get into that position in the first place.

Lady Friday. Her "just leave" strategy was very sensible and almost worked but if my big thing was kidnapping people to eat their brains I wouldn't be taking them all from the same town the protagonist lives in. My operation would be based elsewhere. No plot for me thanks.

Sir Thursday. A lot of things I would have done differently here. I realise the plot needed him to not use any of the hundreds of ways he could killed Arthur at any point but I really don't see that as my problem.

Lord Sunday. My guy literally lost to a toy elephant and a tree. Worst to ever do it.

Um. Spoilers btw.

Best Brother: Round 1 - Group C: Battle of the Twin vs the Older Brother - Ed vs Sokka

Ed (Keys to the Kingdom)

Sokka (ATLA)

Voting ended onApr 27

Propaganda Under Cut:

Ed (Twin Brother of Leaf): Ed spends a lot of time with his twin sister despite his scepticism for the things that she sees. When he falls into a coma she is devestated.

Sokka (Older Brother of Korra): Submitted by @too-many-fandoms-to-choose-one and anonymous. Sokka and Katara have a typical sibling rivalry and bickered constantly. Despite the bickering they loved each other dearly. The two had a very close bond and identified heavily with each other due to their struggles in childhood with their mother's death and their father going off to fight in the 100-Years-War. Sokka felt obligated to protect his younger sister Katara as urged to do so by his father before his father left. Sokka took this task seriously and became overprotective of Katara. Sokka is very loyal to Katara and able to put aside his anger to support her. But at the same time Sokka knew that it was really Katara who looked after him and imagined his mother to be like Katara. Sokka had great concern for his sister.

Y'all. Brian found the original Star wars a new hope on some random Roku app today. Like the ORIGINAL ORIGINAL, greedo doesn't shoot AT ALL

He doesn't remember the name of it, so when I get home I'll find it and let you guys know more

[brennacedria]

Okay so the app he found is Cinema Box, and it has the complete, uncut Star Wars (1977). The movie's listing is for "Star Wars: Episode VI - A New Hope" but the crawl has NO MENTION of episodes or hopes of any kind! It is the oRiGiNaL. It's also clunky as hell looking, but I still don't think it's a vhs copy... I feel like it should have more graininess than it does if it was vhs. Laserdisc, maybe?

I forgot that lucasfilm limited was even a thing.

[jbk405]

I assume that this is taken from the 2006 DVD release, which included the original theatrical release as a "Bonus". That is the only time the original version was ever released on DVD.

That version is a transfer of the 1993 LaserDisc edition. It's not quite "original-original" since the LaserDisc did have some changes ("Episode IV" was added to the titles for the LaserDisc, and then removed from the file for this transfer), but it's as close as any release has ever gotten.

The quality is very much not what I would have asked for, and there are a lot of artifacts remaining from the LaserDisc process, but the story at least is unaltered: It really does come from the time before the Special Edition and all of the subsequent changes.

Until I was able to get the Despecialized Edition a few years ago, these DVDs were my go-to whenever I wanted to rewatch the Original Trilogy.

[kindfulkirby]

As far as unofficial releases go there's also Project 4k77, which is a restored scan of a 35mm film from 1977. And of course the previously mentioned Despecialized Edition.
